Well since picking up my SDA-1C I have found very little use for my RTA's and wanted to get some feedback on value. They have been fully modded by VR3 including Sonic Barrier, Dynamat, and JB Weld. I know I won't get what I put into them, but also feel such great speakers should start getting some use. Thanks.

    I'm assuming that VR3 also upgraded the crossovers? What brand components? RD0's? Condition?

    Yeah VR3 did the crossovers and the ones on his site are actually mine. I did upgrade to the new RDO's, but will most likely swap these out to use in the SDA's. As for condition I would consider them good.

    Not familiar with the erse caps and resistors - perhaps someone who is will chime in.

    I rebuilt mine with sonicaps and mills, + some other mods, about $600 worth of parts. I would hope to get $350 for them, though I would let them go for less to Polkie. Would they sell for that? Who knows. . .
